Given: 6.5%
6.5% =
Clear the decimal in the numerator:
Multiply numerator and denominator by 10 (101) since there is 1 digit to the right of the decimal point in 6.5
Simplify
Greatest Common Factor of 65 and 1,000: GCF(65, 1,000) = 5
Therefore, 6.5% converted to a fraction: 6.5% =
6.5% =
6.5 /100
Clear the decimal in the numerator:
Multiply numerator and denominator by 10 (101) since there is 1 digit to the right of the decimal point in 6.5
6.5/100
= 6.5 * 10/100 * 10
= 65/1,000
Simplify
65/1,000
if possible:Greatest Common Factor of 65 and 1,000: GCF(65, 1,000) = 5
65/1,000
= 65 ÷ 5/1,000 ÷ 5
= 13/200
in simplest formTherefore, 6.5% converted to a fraction: 6.5% =
13/200
